Popular Brazilian influencer Luana Andrade has tragically died after undergoing liposuction surgery on her knee at a hospital in Sao Paulo. The 29-year-old influencer suffered from 4 cardiac arrests after complications arose during the cosmetic procedure. 

According to Marca, Ms Andrade’s heart stopped approximately two and a half hours into the surgery. The doctors stopped the fat removal procedure and tried to revive her. She was transferred to the intensive care unit. 

The media outlet further stated that the medical investigation revealed that the influencer suffered from a pulmonary embolism, which was associated with a thrombosis. 

The hospital in a statement said, “The surgery was interrupted and the patient underwent tests that revealed massive thrombosis. She was transferred to the ICU where she underwent medication and hemodynamic treatment.”

The influencer was pronounced dead around 5.30 a.m. on Tuesday. 

Her boyfriend, Joao Hadad wrote on Instagram, “I am torn apart and living my biggest nightmare. A part of me left.”

He added, “We built a beautiful story and lived our dreams intensely. In addition to being a girlfriend, you are and will always be a partner beyond life, my love. … You are my light, princess. I ask that you continue to watch over me and all of us from above. I will always love you, from now until eternity!”

Brazilian footballer Neymar also paid tribute to the influencer. “Sad day with two very bad news. First, it was the attack that Bru’s (Bruna Bincardi’s) parents suffered, but thank God everyone is fine!’ he wrote in Portuguese.  “Secondly, the death of a friend. My condolences to the whole family, may God receive Luana with open arms.”

The influencer had a massive social media following on Instagram and owned her clothing brand, Lukand. She worked as a stage assistant for Domingo Legal. She was also part of the reality show, Power Couple Brasil 6, which aired in 2022. 

India saved roughly $2.7 billion by importing discounted Russian oil in the first nine months of this year, according to calculations based on government data, helping it support economic growth and easing pressure on its trade deficit.

Crude oil accounts for about a third of India’s overall imports by value.

India, the world’s third-biggest oil importer and consumer, replaced Europe as the largest buyer of seaborne Russian crude this year after the West imposed sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine last year.

Access to cheap Russian oil enabled India to cut imports from the Middle East, where prices strengthened following Saudi Arabia’s voluntary additional supply cuts since July.

India imported 69.06 million metric tons of Russian oil, equivalent to 1.85 million barrels per day (bpd), between January and September, commerce ministry data showed, including Russian oil imported from South Korea, Greece and Spain through transshipments.

The average price for Russian oil delivered to Indian refiners was $525.60 per ton during that period, including shipping and insurance costs, Reuters calculations based on ministry data showed.

By comparison, the average landed cost of Iraqi oil, which is of similar quality to the medium-sour Russian Urals crude that accounts for the bulk of India’s purchases from Russia, was $564.46 per ton during the same period.

That equates to savings of $2.7 billion for India compared with what it would have paid if it had bought Iraqi oil instead, the calculations showed.

Russia has surpassed Iraq as top oil supplier to India, with Saudi Arabia relegated to third place. Other Russian grades purchased by India include light sweet ESPO and Sokol.

China, the world’s top oil importer, has reaped savings this year of nearly $10 billion through record purchases of oil from countries under Western sanctions including Russia, based on Reuters calculations.

Unlike China, India doesn’t buy Venezuelan and Iranian oil.

By importing Russian oil, Indian refiners benefit from lower feedstock costs, which have buoyed gross refining margins and curtailed revenue loss from subsidised retail fuel sales.

State refiners have not revised pump prices for more than a year, aiding government efforts to rein in inflation, while refined products demand has grown about 14% this year.
